SOLD Early Ford top loader internals. Really nice condition but I no longer have need for them. No chips or excessive wear observed. Shifter top included but will sell separately.

May be a shot in the dark but....Looking for a really good single 16x5x5-1/2 bc steel wheel. Please no serious rusted or dinged wheels. Have a bent wheel needing to replace. Would consider a matched pair. Obviously would prefer something close to me.

The more I think about this issue the more I think its a function of the intake design as noted. The front carb does indeed sit directly over the center of the intake. Both carbs were completely rebuilt with new internals, surfaces checked at time of rebuild. No misfitted or worn throttle shafts...

Updating my AV8 flathead. Installed two rebuilt Stromberg 97's on an Edmunds intake and have tried synchronizing the carbs with no success. Seems the front carb is the only one responding to idle adjustments screws. I can put my hand over the rear one and the engine continues to run albeit...

SOLD Please delete Really nice dual carb Fenton intake. No cracks, welds, stripped threads. Really just a great looking intake. Bought for a project that no longer is going to happen. My lose your gain.

Sold

Lowering price to $400 or make offer

SOLD SOLD Very clean top loader trans taken from my AV8 . Rebuilt by previous owner and i only put about 500 miles on it. No cracks, sludge, grease, or chipped teeth. Syncros look new. Had a slight grind going into second gear at times but probably due to my negligence. What you see is all I...

Need rear hub puller. Thanks

Fourth time must be a charm. Tested and they work fine. Drilled 1/8 hole for air bleed and secured them with stainless steel wire. Temps ran up to 190 after short cruise. Thanks for indulging me

Third attempt at installing stats in my 42 Flathead. Just bought and tried NAPA 115 stats and cant get them to open in near boiling water. 180 degree my butt. Have and used infrared thermo. and this pissing me off. Had similar trouble with three different manu. Open fine using a heat gun so not...

SOLD...SOLD Nice set of ceramic coated Fenton headers for a flathead. One header has a grind mark on it but otherwise in excellent condition. Including discharge elbows for system hook up. Bought for my AV8 but had clearance issues with my Vega box. May consider trade for three carb set up...

Have to pull the files to determine the carb jetting I ended up with. Had made several changes. Running two Holley carbs on an alum. Edmunds. The spark plugs looked like they should after finalizing jetting. Maybe going at bit richer may help with cold running. One problem at a time to solve...

Did drill holes in the 180 stats now installed. Thought that may have been the original problem on the 160 stats. Unfortunately I did not take temp readings with no stats as I just bought the new infrared gauge. Considered running a second temp gauge as well. Tired of doing the same thing over...

Been chasing this gremlin for about a year or more now. Starting to think I am stupid. When I first ran this engine I didn't install stats and it continually ran on the cold side. Temps ran up to a max. 170 on a hot day at idle but frankly it never ran well until higher temps. Often had to run...
